Julian Clark

Plymouth Road Runner

This tough lookin' 'Runner on steelies belongs to Julian Clark. A member of the MMA, Julian is a self-confessed rookie and has already got a 13.29 at Shakespeare County Raceway.

"I'm still getting used to driving the car and the four speed!" says Julian. The car runs a 451 stroker motor built by Dave Billadeau (Billadeau Speed & Automotive) with 10.94:1 compression ratio and delivers approximately 510bhp and 530ft.lbs of torque. From the top, it's got a Mopar 4-bbl oval air cleaner, a Mighty Demon 825 ETS carb, Mopar Performance M1 intake manifold through to Indy EZ 440 Heads. It uses a high capacity aluminium water pump, a Crower 294HDP (.509" / .530")-(294° / 304° Total)-(230° / 241° @ .050") bumpstick, Diamond pistons, Eagle crank and H-beam rods, windage tray, Melling oil pump, Mildon oil pan and a Schumacher torque strap.

A McLeod street twin clutch delivers the horses to an 833 4-speed manual trans, with a Hurst Competition Plus shifter and pistol grip stick Mopar wood grain steering wheel. Things are kept safer with a US Car Tool drive shaft loop before getting to the Dana 60 4.10 axle hangin' on Mono leaf spings, Benix Style 8" dual diaphragm power brake booster mounted on Hemi type bracket. Front has 11.75" cop car disc brakes with pin slider callipers.

A cool ride and a neat racecar, one to watch out for!
